In short, every piece of code you added to your stock system needs
to be reviewed. Just a quick perusal of stock circle with Oasis 2
included shows;
castle.c: assigns room/obj/mob specs = obj# + zone # * 100
genmob/obj/zon/shp/wld: all assume that a zone starts on a
multiple of 100 (shouldn't have much problem with this, if it's just 1000)
zedit.c: has a section where it makes the default new zone size
100 rooms, and limits you to a max room number of 3200
I may have missed one or two other things, but really, not too
much that's a problem in stock.
However, if we go and look at other patches, like dig or the sort,
we quickly see that all zones are expected to be always and ONLY 100 units
large.
So, you'll have to go through the code.
